Thank you so much Reinhard, and the others who reacted personally, I really
appreciate it.
I already had a lot of good memories while she was alive, now these are all
that will last. But they're wonderful memories, so that is beautiful.

>Yesterday afternoon, Sunday January 15, 2007, my Grantmother passed away
>with her beloved ones around her. May she rest in peace. I was there
myself,
>together with my dad, two aunts and the husband of one of my aunts. She was
>87 years old. I tell this here because of her contribution to the
>Anniversary site, see below. I do not feel very sad, Oma had a beautiful
>rich life with many children and grantchildren, a great religious faith and
>without serious illness. To me, she was a warm, creative, sweet and ever
>understanding woman, always optimistic and caring. We'll miss her but we're
>happy that she found peace now. Ingmar

>>She's not well at all lately. Last year she had to leave the house where
>>she lived more than fourty years, because of her health. This Summer she
>>was in hospital a few weeks, and stayed at a special "Care Farm" a couple
>>of months after. Now she moved to a nursing-home, but it's worsening every

>>I'll keep you informed.

>>Dear Ingmar,
>>
>>Thank you for informing us about your grandmother's condition.  I am sad
to
>>hear it.
>>
>>On behalf of all Lowlanders -- though I encourage individuals to contact
>you
>>privately -- I wish your oma, you and your entire family what in Dutch you
>>appropriately call sterkte (strength) on these occasions.
>>
>>Undoubtedly like many other Lowlanders, I have been through this myself,
>and
>>I know how hard it can be, because grandmothers tend to inhabit very
>special
>>places in our hearts.
>>
>>If possible, please tell your grandmother how much we appreciate her
>>participation in our project.  With private mail I'll send you a
>certificate
>>of appreciation for her and for Barbara each.  I have begun to send these
>>out to what I call "guest contributers" (i.e., non-members that helped
with
>>the project) and hope to eventually cover everyone.
>>
>>To you, Barbara and the kids I send my love.
>>
>>Yours,
>>Reinhard/Ron
